Coffey Stripped

Superintendent "Special Ed" Johnson announced that he has stripped former Deputy Chief Fred Coffey of his star and retirement powers pending the outcome of an investigation into yesterday's shooting.

"I have viewed the reports and found a number of 'disturbing' inconsistencies in the stories of all parties involved. To investigate, I have taken it upon myself to appoint a panel of three high scoring lieutenants from the most recent test. They know how to memorize and repeat what they're told, so they'll go far in sorting out this mess.

So does that mean he's now un-retired?! Does he have to go to Call Back now? What, exactly, will a Deputy Chief do down there?!!!!! Does he get his own XO and secretary too?!!!!

There are many more than 3 involved in the Cheating. The IG is still investigating this blatant cheating scandal. The are quite a few that benefited from E. Williams, A. Wysinger and the UnNoble organization.

As long as attention is kept on this scandal it wont go away. I am sure all the guilty parties involved are looking over their shoulders and checking their phones for wire taps.

They have all pocked atleast $12,000 - $15,000 in extra income by now that they did not earn! Think about that for a moment while you are working at your part-time job.

SCC - You raise an interesting question since the gold badge clowns are full of surprises, can the dept. actually take back your retired ID & star? I suppose that since its city property that Ed the Stripper can recall them. I've also heard that the IROCC cash cow runs a CQH to see if you've been arrested after you forked over $75-$100 for your yearly issued card. What's to stop the CPD gold clowns from doing what they love to do - shafting us even after retirement since the pension Quandry is Rahm's domain.What do other states charge for renewing the retired officers CCL? Can our retired sisters and brothers chime in with that info?

We keep joking about the LIEtenant exam but in reality it's a disgrace. For all the people who actually studied and are not going to make lieutenant because of several people cheating on the exam is beyond repulsive. I for one won't do a damn thing anymore. I wasted money and time on that exam and will just miss the cut because of the cheaters. It's pretty hard to compete against individuals who had the exam along with the answers.

I read the Wall Street Journal piece by Heather MacDonald about her conversation with Dean Angelo. Spot on. The police have lost control of the streets thanks to the progressive/liberal leadership in this country war on the police. And what is Rahm planning to do? Talk about absent black fathers. Maybe if the progressive/liberals, political enablers and ACLU admit they made some mistakes things could get better but that is not in their DNA. If anything they will double down on the old tired arguments of poverty, lack of jobs, lack of "community involvement" etc as the cause of the spike in violence. Funny things those factors all existed before the spike in violence.

'Nuff said Fred gets a pass from Special Ed, who is known to run people over to geting to the hospital late. Is there a special attention, foot patrols, box, tact ISR blitz and 24hr car sitting at 83rd & Whatnot now? Which Merit Exempt Genius wants to tackle the mystery of why there are easier pickings on 2nd watch citywide?

SCC, with the amazing number of morons who read and post here, you need to do something to make the sarcasm easier to spot. Including the "sarcasm and silliness" tag just isn't enough for some people. Maybe you could make the sarcastic posts in red or some other bright color, along with a title in huge font proclaiming "THIS POST IS A JOKE! DO NOT TAKE IT LITERALLY! THIS DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN!" Look at the posts in response to this story. There are several people who believe it's actually possible and that it happened. It's unbelievable that someone could be that dumb, but here they are. It worries me that they may be the police. Take Mr. "stoled an apple phone" who posted at 3:46am for example. If that's a police officer, we assume it's an adult who at least made it through high school and possibly some college, yet they have the vocabulary and grammar skills of a 4 year old, and not even a particularly bright 4 year old for that matter. How do you get to adulthood and still use a "word" like stoled? Seriously? Academy needs to be much more difficult and FTOs need to weed out whichever brainless morons somehow slip through the cracks and hit the streets. The "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy should not apply to becoming a police officer.

How can they mess with his retirement if he's retired? That makes him a civilian, right? A guy retires from the sanitation dept and beats the thell out ta somebody, does his retirement get taken away. I don't have a clue about CPD policy on things like this, but it sounds like some dirty shit to do that. Court, trial? Yes, but mess with pension money paid in for years? I call horse shit. Probably gonna result in another lawsuit and more tax dollars wasted in court. Like I said, I might be wrong, but sounds shady to a civilian like me

Superintendent Johnson: You have lost us all..You are not that Sgt. That you were before. You have changed for the worse. Your actions since you have been made top cop are deplorable. Your INACTION over this lietenant scandle is criminal,and your knowledge of it makes you part of this criminal act..the feds are watching you to Mr. Superintendent.dont think they're not..you will probably get that tap on the shoulder after rahm boy fires you..just you watch..that fixed exam is so bad..such deception. ..none of us will honor or respect those losers...they will eventually screw up...I'm glad im out of here in 8months..what used to be a great career has turned into a complete embarrassment.

Don't u sign some paper to carry/conceal that your not the police anymore, I hopecoffee carries and umbrella policy?

Yes, you do. It is on your annual IROCC renewal form.

As for a civil suit: Get real. This is not a "Deep pockets City of Chicago cash grab."

The idea that lawyers will take any case if false. They are a business. They take cases where they are pretty sure they are going to get paid. And without too much effort.

True, it is probably a "He said, He said" case. The one "He" is an honorably retired public servant. The other "He" probably is what some would call a "POS.". They are both black so there are no racial fires to fan.

Would be interesting to know what the Deputy said afterward. The smart thing is the less the better. Nothing is best of all, other than "I was in fear of my life."

Don't u sign some paper to carry/conceal that your not the police anymore, I hopecoffee carries and umbrella policy?

God, I hope your not the Police!!! HE WAS ABOUT TO BE ROBBED AT GUNPOINT, THE VICTIM OF AN ARMED ROBBERY. He did not take police action, he acted as a legal carry conceal owner or IROCC retired officer...he was defending himself. Geez...

Off topic question. Rather than carry mace or pepper spray for protection, my wife asked me if Wasp Spray would be safer for the user as it shoots a further jet at the target and would temporarily disable him. Any ideas?

What retirement powers? Un-retired??? Those merit guys sure must have some special rules... Once you are retired you are OUT of the Dept. So are they pulling his ID card?.....then he can't carry under LEOSA, is that what they mean by powers...??

That' a bitch that they hit us with a b.s charge of 75 or 100 bucks every year. Gets old after doing it 5 years brother, must other venue' charge retired copper. zip. Illinois just wants to bleed every penny from legit people in this state. bet your ass, good old Fred had an expired IROCC card. Just carry an ace on you, UUW is a b.s misdemeanor again, Remember brother - chapter 38 - 38 24 1 A 10... try and find a copper that stops anyone today, and a senior citizen stop, LOL

Across the Mason-Dixon line, the law out there laugh if you tell them you are a retired copper without a pistol on you. The Southern police always are good ole boys to old big city copper'. One made me go have dinner at his home with his family, laughed all night ! - funny good ass people that know proper ways to treat an outside copper, retired or not. They make friends out there on those highways. But bless their hearts, they don't take lightly one disrespecting them ! LMAO.

Obongo/Obozo/Obama let the bad guys out of jail, all for the Socialist Democratic vote in November. That's also why he's flooding this country with illegals..it's for the Socialist Democratic vote. Obozo knows these illegals etc. like the "free stuff" they'll be getting from Father Obama, and will continue to vote Socialist Democratic at the polls. Go Trump/2016.

SCC thank you for the chuckle, and the contemplation after reading this. Heaven only knows what the hoplophobes in cook county will do as more and more shitheads are ventilated by law abiding citizens...

IROCC is another Illinois scam designed to steal money. Nowhere in 418 is anything like IROCC required. All that is required is that you worked for IIRC 10 years, resigned or retired honorably and that you qualify once a year with your weapons. My buddy is a retired Deputy Chief from a suburb. Every year that suburb qualifies him on his weapons and issues him a card similar to the IROCC card that indicates that he meets the requirements for 218. They charge him NOTHING.That's it. Chicago could and should do the same thing if they were smart. Cut the fee IROCC charges in half and keep the money for Chicago. But at the end of the day you do NOT need an IROCC card to comply with 218.

I hope the Democrats and liberals in this department and city are having fun because when TRUP is elected President shit is gonna change and it's gonna change in our department as will be begin to take a stand against this non sense and against our ball less union, time for change across the board and it begins in January.
